Replying to: jmonroe (Jun 09, 2008 7:08 am) I once owned a black Ford Granada sedan with red leather interior. It was a beautiful car, but so hot in the summer. After two years, we traded for a light blue buick with blue velvet seats. It seemed much cooler to us. There is a wonderful story about that Buick. I'll have to share it another time. Richard |

touched a nerve, my apologies. Everyone is allowed to be more comfortable in a lighter "leather" car, than a dark color leather. Here in Texas, [maybe I should have qualified for humidity] the cream beige leather in a 5 series, is no more cooler than the black leather in the same car. Make sense? This is with all due respect to those of you who don't sit in 3-5 different cars everyday................................ I'm sure BR's experience is different in the climate he's in.

Replying to: isellhondas (Jun 08, 2008 3:40 pm) Thinking about this also I doubt the interior color makes a differance. It is the outside color of the car that attracts the sun. The black soaks in the heat where the light or white colors reflects the heat...  Either way it hit 95 gegrees here yesterday and every car I got into was scorching. I think I lost 5 pounds just from sweating perfusely after entering some of the cars GP

Replying to: dhamilton (Jun 09, 2008 7:53 am) Brief press release The lower humidity and special glass could wipe out most of that five degree delta.

Replying to: richard64 (Jun 09, 2008 7:28 am) 80 degree is HOT. In western Washington our highs this past week have been in the mid to upper 50’s. At 1:00AM it’s like maybe 48. I think we are in for a cold, wet summer.

Replying to: greanpea68 (Jun 09, 2008 8:01 am) Exterior color should have very little effect on temperature inside a car. Yes, the outside of a dark colored vehicle may get hotter than the outside of a light colored vehicle but the exterior is, by and large, well insulated from the interior. I think those articles I listed earlier also address this issue. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Replying to: jmonroe (Jun 09, 2008 7:08 am) BTW, we're enjoying daytime highs in the 60s and may break 70 this week. Overnight lows are still hovering around the freezing point. It's delightful.  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
